A young Middlesbrough girl was dubbed "the star" of a show after landing the role as editor-in-chief of Hello! Magazine.

Eight-year-old Isabella appeared on When I Grow Up - a Channel 4 "social experiment" which sees youngsters given a taste of aspirational careers.

And she impressed from her very first meeting with Hello! Magazine's editor Rosie Nixon by bringing along her very own magazine called Isabella's News.

"Isabella shone through for me," said Rosie on the show.

Telling her she was going to be "head of the magazine", she told her: "Everybody is going to report to you. You will be ensuring that the quality is of a really high standard throughout. And you might have some different situations where you had to manage the team."

"I don't think I make very good boss because I am not very good at bossing people about," said Isabella.

"Most bosses say 'come on, get on with your job' and I don't like doing anything like that."

But Isabella proved herself wrong - shining on every task and landing an exclusive chat with Prince Charles about her favourite children's books.

Her proud mum Leigh, a single parent who works in a clothes shop, said: "She's definitely not your average seven-year-old. She just got Macbeth off my friend."

Leigh added: "I don't want her to think she just has to be here ( Middlesbrough ) for the rest of her life.

"I think this will give her a wider knowledge of what's out there."

During the show, Isabella also humorously told Myleene Klass's publicist she's "not a much of a big of Myleene Klass because I've never heard of her".

She also keeps her team in check when they start arguing.

"I thought I couldn't be the boss but I learnt I can," said Isabella, who was dubbed "the star of the show" in one review of the show. "I want to be the chief in editor of this magazine.

"If I am doing well now, I will do well when I'm older - if I can remember how to do it."

Rosie concluded: "Isabella is a really bright girl. I think she has the skills that are needed to be an editor."
